Melamine

Melamine

You already know melamine — it's the surface on your kitchen cabinets and furniture. Durable, smooth, and pre-finished on both sides, it's one of the most practical laser materials you can work with, and one of the most underrated.

What makes melamine exceptional for laser crafting is what happens when you engrave it. The MDF core beneath the surface turns a rich, clean black as the laser works through it, creating sharp, high-contrast detail that photographs beautifully and reads clearly from a distance. For wall hangings, signs, and display pieces where crisp engraving is the goal, melamine delivers results that few other materials can match.

Available in white gloss, black gloss, chocolate apple, silver frost, black driftwood, and blooming cherry — all at 1/4" thick, double-sided, and sized at 12x19".

CO2 laser compatible only — not recommended for diode lasers.
